Frequently Asked Questions About ADD

Q. What is ADD?

A. ADD, commonly known as attention deficit disorder, is a neurobehavioral disorder that causes your child to be unable to focus on any one task. Their brain is being sent multiple messages and this inability to focus might cause them to become disruptive and impulsive.

Q. What are common signs of ADD?

A. Common signs to look for with ADD could be not being able to follow directions, forgetting common items on a regular basis, not being able to sit still, and not being able to focus on conversations. These issues can happen in any situation, so you may want to talk to your child’s teacher and find out if they notice any of these issues in class.

Q. How can my child deal with ADD?

A. Treating ADD is different for everyone, so it’s important to talk to your child’s pediatrician in Kaufman, TX, to figure out an ADD treatment plan. Often, a strict schedule can help your child function a little better and you may want to find out about certain behavioral therapies. Depending on your child, their pediatrician may also prescribe medication to help increase focus.
